"Birch Retreat" - cuteness and elegance combined!
"Birch" is a private retreat, part of a lovely cottage hidden behind an ornate garden gate; It is a cozy and comfortable private apartment for 2-4 guests comprising of two large and well-appointed rooms with modern touches within a ridiculously charming Door County setting! The "Green Gables" the property in which it is set, is a picturesque spot in the north part of Ephraim, with its own beautiful award-winning gardens, and is within easy walking distance to galleries, shops, mini-golf, breakfast and pizza, or a short drive from Ephraim village and the water. "Birch" gets lots of natural light from a large picture window at the front and from a sliding patio door at the back, which opens onto a small garden area with summery flowers. There's plenty of more open green space outdoors and around the Green Gables property. One large room has an elegant King bed, while the living room has a true Queen sofa-bed. The living room has a large and attractive library of books plus a 49" TV (with cable, Netflix, and Amazon Prime). All the bedding is non-allergenic. There is a very spacious walk-in shower enclosure within an ensuite bathroom. The apartment also is equipped with modest kitchenette facilities consisting of a microwave, fridge, toaster, coffeemaker and simple tableware/utensils. A contemporary dining table and four chairs completes the apartment, a lovely place to unwind and from which to explore Door County. In response to COVID-19, cleaning and sanitizing will be thoroughly undertaken, and guests are asked and to be ready to put on masks just when entering and exiting the building. Thank you!
